Welcome to The Preached Word. In today's message from 1 Thessalonians 5:25–28, we explore a seemingly disconnected series of commands—a request for prayer, an exhortation to greet, a solemn charge to read the epistle, and a final benediction. Join us as we discover the rich, unifying theme of The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, which not only connects these duties but makes the Christian life and all our service possible.
